Runtime Engineering
Inside the runtime: durable RootFS, isolation, migration, and performance.
AI Sandbox: How It Works, Security Boundaries, and Agent Use Cases
A developer's guide to AI sandboxes: isolate agent code, choose a runtime, compare platforms, and check what survives pause and resume with a reproducible filesystem example.
A Root Filesystem That Grows with Your Agent
Sandbox0 now grows the writable RootFS online, with sparse devices up to 64 TiB and incremental background commits. How it works, what survives a worker change, and how it compares with sandbox disks and mounted volumes.
Moving a Running AI Agent Sandbox Between Nodes
How Sandbox0 moves running process state between compatible workers using stock gVisor, block-COW storage, and peer-to-peer transfer—and what our roughly 3.5-second benchmark measures.
A Sandbox Is Not a Container: Inside Sandbox0's New Nomad Architecture
Sandbox0 now separates durable sandbox identity and encrypted block-COW RootFS state from disposable Nomad workers. This post explains the carrier pool, claim-time resource leases, stock gVisor isolation, and failure boundaries behind the redesign.
How We Cut gVisor Metrics CPU by 72% at 424 Sandboxes
At high sandbox density, every CRI stats request launched a runsc subprocess before calling an existing gVisor control RPC. This post explains how Sandbox0 removed that process boundary, kept the same metrics contract, and reduced average node CPU from 60.68% to 16.70% in a matched production comparison.
